Ressurecting and Repurposing

 I unearthed some old prints from back in my younger college years in printmaking.. I will admit, I pretty much hated that class. The professor was nice enough, but I wasn't up to par as far as being uber clean nor meticulous and consistent enough. Needless to say, I did not develop a love for printmaking.at.all. And I am left with a large collection of painfully crafted, yet poorly mastered prints on some very expensive paper (Which is equally painful to a young college student, let me tell you...this paper is like GOLD). I've also  been experimenting lately with watercolour and have reached a bit of a block. My bright idea is to perhaps breath some fresh life into these old prints while, at the same time, give me a chance to play with my new love, watercolour. So here we have a few shots of a print I repurposed today...I will apologize ahead of time for the poor quality of the images, as it has been cloudy all day, and the only light was a poor, yellowed desk lamp which cast a harsh glare over the wings (which were painted with luminescent, shimmery watercolour paints).

PS. I am mailing out handmade Valentine's cards with a bag of special goodies to all my Valentines' tomorrow morning. Maybe you are one of the special few who gets one? I don't knoooooow!!! ;)
